Area junior golfers have eyes on Guan

"It's different every day," says 15 year old Tyler. "It's something new. it never really gets boring."

The brothers always look forward
to the Masters, but are paying special attention this year thanks to the play
of 14 year old Tianlang Guan.

"That's amazing to be able
to be in that position," says 17 year old Jacob. "At 14, I was dreaming of playing in
the Masters."

Guan is the youngest player in
Masters history, and has drawn the attention of pros and junior golfers alike.

Guan sat right on the cut line at +4 after Round 2, but made it to the weekend.

"Me and a couple other
juniors were all sitting around and talking about it," Jacob remembers. "[One player] said, 'Man, he hits it too short. He doesn't have a chance to win the Masters or play well.' For him to go out there and make the cut, that's pretty
cool."

Both Jacob and Tyler have
pro golf dreams, and say Guan's success this week just pushes them harder
towards those goals.

"It definitely serves as
motivation, because I know if he can do it, I definitely have a shot," says Tyler. "Not much
makes him better than me except he can putt."

Now, as the teenaged Masters
competitor takes on the weekend, the Joiner brothers will be among the millions
who watch and root the young man on.
